Re: Memory leak ?

[donalson]

Swen,

   If you have any BLT graphs running try turning them off.  I found that after
3000+ timesteps with 3 graphs and 10 traces that I began to run out of virtual
memory/swap space under Win98.  The problem seemed to go away with the BLT
graphs turned off.

Cheers,

   D3
